Title: The local Eynard-Orantin recursion in Gromov--Witten theory
Abstract: The Eynard--Orantin recursion was discovered first in the settings of matrix models. It turns out that the recursion holds in Gromov--Witten theory as well, which in particular provides a very powerful tool for computing Gromov--Witten invariants for manifolds whose quantum cohomology is semi-simple. My plan is first to introduce the recursion and then using Givental's higher genus reconstruction to explain how one can prove the relations via the well known Virasoro constraints for the intersection numbers of the Delign--Mumford moduli space of curves.
